Gun Safe Removal in Dothan, AL — Heavy Safes, No Problem

This Is One of Those Jobs You Should Not DIY

Gun safes are deceptively heavy. A mid-size residential gun safe can weigh 400–600 pounds. Large safes hit 1,200 pounds or more. People hurt themselves every year trying to move these down stairs or into trucks. This is genuinely one of those jobs where calling professionals makes sense.

We move and remove gun safes in Dothan and Houston County. We have the equipment — dollies rated for heavy loads, furniture sliders, straps — and we know how to get safes down stairs and through doorways without tearing up the walls.

What Does Gun Safe Removal Cost?

For a standard freestanding safe on a ground-floor garage or single-story home: – to remove and haul. Add – if it's on a second floor or requires stairs. Very large safes (500+ pounds) or complex extractions (tight spaces, multiple stair landings) are quoted individually.

We'll ask about weight, location, and access when you call. Be as accurate as you can — this is one where the details really matter for our crew.

What Happens to the Safe?

If it's sellable and you're not keeping it, we can try to find it a new home — we know buyers for quality safes. If it's old, damaged, or you just want it gone, it goes to metal recycling. Safes are mostly steel — good recycling candidate.

Do You Move Safes or Just Remove Them?

Both. If you're staying in the house and just want it repositioned — from garage to master closet, or from upstairs to a basement — we can do a safe relocation without full haul-away. Just tell us what you need on the call.
